Fantasy Tip: Gibson turned in one of his best outings of the season against one of the league's most prolific offenses, allowing no hits over his final seven innings. Going forward, he should still be viewed as a risky play due to his inconsistency and will make his next scheduled start versus the Baltimore Orioles Thursday, July 28.

Minnesota Twins SP Kyle Gibson is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in four road starts this year despite going 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA in his last four starts overall. On the year, he's 2-6 with a 5.12 ERA.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson really is a shaky matchup play in cavernous mixed and AL-only formats, and he's striking out just 6.4 hitters per nine innings. You would be very wise to avoid him on the road against the BoSox, one of the most potent hitting lineups in all of baseball.

Minnesota Twins SP Kyle Gibson allowed just five hits and a walk with a season-best seven strikeouts over seven scoreless innings to pick up his first win of the season Tuesday, June 28, against the Chicago White Sox.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson has struggled all season, posting a 5.12 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. He has just two quality starts over his past five outings and is still worth only a roster space in the deepest of AL-only fantasy leagues at this point.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson is an AL-only option for now as he was smoked in his first few starts. Hughes has been awful as well and hasn't been the pitcher he was in 2014. You can cut bait outside of AL-only leagues. May was spectacular to begin the season, but he fell flat afterwards. With Glen Perkins (shoulder) on the mend, May probably missed the boat on the closer opening. He's worth having in AL-only leagues for K's, but that's about it.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson wasn't very good in his first four starts before landing on the DL (6.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP, 4.8 K/9), so those in deep mixed leagues will want to wait and see how he fares in his return. A matchup against the Red Sox is probably the worst thing for Gibson in his return. They're one of the toughest lineups in the AL.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson should return to a rotation spot for the Twins when he's ready, for lack of better options. He has a 6.10 ER, 1.74 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 20 2/3 innings in four starts this year and can be avoided in most mixed leagues to see what he'll offer when he returns.

Minnesota Twins SP Kyle Gibson (back) will make another rehab start if he doesn't suffer any setbacks during a bullpen session Thursday, June 2.

Fantasy Tip: It's understandable if those in mixed leagues aren't rushing to reacquire Gibson. The right-hander was 0-3 with a 6.10 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and just 4.8 strikeouts per nine innings before his injury. He'll likely be put back into the rotation when he's ready, but those in deep mixed leagues should take a wait-and-see approach before considering adding him for rotation depth.

Fantasy Tip: Sub out Gibson where you can Thursday, and especially in daily contests. He has a 6.10 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP through four starts this season, so at this point, it is best to leave Gibson to deep mixed and AL-only formats until he finds his form on the mound, especially because of his underwhelming 5.9 career K/9. Hughes had been relegated to the bullpen because of his struggles (5.74 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 5.1 K/9 through 10 starts), so there isn't a lot to like about him in any fantasy format Thursday.

Minnesota Twins SP Kyle Gibson (shoulder) threw a 45-pitch bullpen and passed this test. As a result, he should be able to head out on rehab directly.

Fantasy Tip: Gibson was solid last season, going 11-11 with a 3.84 ERA, but struggled through his first few starts in 2016 before landing on the disabled list. Thus, owners should probably wait until he returns and gets in a rhythm again before adding him in most leagues.
